Your House Smells Like Mountain Breeze
Filed in archive Edge Technology on September 29, 2006
You live in the city. Buses and cars zoom past your house. All around you are big concrete buildings and steel structures. But your house smells like a mountain cottage. Thankfully, you have a roof garden.
Green Roof technology allows you to contribute to urban air cleaning by trapping particulate matter from vehicle engine emissions; helps trap carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. The denser the plant material, the better and the greater the amount of growing matter you have, the more capable your roof is at trapping particulates and contaminants.
An additional benefit of Green Roofs is the extension of natural ecosystems which promote biodiversity even in an urban environment. Socially speaking, you have a very attractive, eco-friendly design to add to your home.
